We win & we’re 2 points out of the 8. Might only last a week but seeing we’ve lost 3 games under 3 points we’re a much better team than north.

I’d like to think Ambruise gets a run after kicking 6 in the reserves and bruises some North players in the process. For me Zakka, Cahill and Bryan will be the 3 named on the extended bench that miss and I’d have Perkins as SUB so team could look like;-
Francis Stewart Laverde
Heppell Ridley Redman
McGrath Langford Cox
Waterman Jones Snell
Hooker 2MP Tippa
Phillips Parish Merrett
Bench: Hind Ham Guelfi Ambruise
SUB: Perkins
Common Dons!
I hate this time slot Sunday, its hard justify going Live or even have the time on Sunday evening to settle the kids down after watching the footy to get ready and set for another week. Either make it Sunday night game starting at 7.00pm purely for TV or play all 3 Sunday afternoon games at 1.00pm.

Ins: Waterman and Cox
Outs Smith
Selected 18 + Hind, Ham, Perkins, Guelfi
sub Zaharakis
Cahill and Bryan to play VFL and Ambrose Carry over emergency for Sunday
Chungas definitely should be starting and throw him in the middle to start against Kangas wanna see what it looks like
Aquaman gets a golden chance to impress against Norf.
I think he will kick 4.
Ham will be used for pizza for a while.
Jeez some very angry people regarding time slots…

Good to see us back playing in our right timeslot, 4:40pm on a Sunday at Marvel.
It’s meant to be.

Hind, Guelfi and the Perkolator are no brainers.
Ambrose and Bryan are playing well enough, but won’t come in unless a key forward or Flipper have a niggle which probably makes it out of Zaharakis, Cahill and Ham for the last place on the bench and the sub.
My hunch is they might think Cahill is ready for a stint in the midfield, so it could be his turn, and Ham will be in the VFL on Saturday. Zaharakis back as the sub for mine.

Hooker has had a couple of low weeks and could use a rest to freshen up for the trip West. Could keep him as the Medical Sub to allow Ham, Cahill, Bryan and Zahararkis a game in the Magoos. In the meantime give Ambrose a crack at being a lead up FF in the role he played last week in the VFL. If it works - great! If not, back to Hooker. This is the best week to try this. At the same time give Waterman a HFF role with some midfield rotation as a Stringer-type inside mid. Could work and when Stringer comes back we would have two tough clearance mids rotating in the forward line. Could add some real strength in both positions.
The team:
B. Francis Stewart Laverde
HB. Heppell Ridley Redman
C. McGrath Langford Cox
HF. Waterman Jones Snelling
F. 2MP Ambrose Walla
R. Phillips Parish Merrett
I/C: Hind Ham Guelfi Perkins
Med,Sub: Hooker
Norfs victory against Hawthorn was off the back of midfield dominance against Mitchell, Omeara and Worpel, ( not a poor midfield ) but outclassed on the day
Even with similar hitouts, North had clearance and inside 50 dominance , relative to rebound 50s, whereas R50s and I50s were similar for Hawthorn at around 40 each.
The Norf attack and defence are not better than Essendons on paper, but I expect the real battle to be fought in the midfield and if we get enough good quality incoming we should be able to scrape a win.

It could work. Please don’t expect Ambrose to hunt the ball up the ground like as a CHF, target him in the square or leading out and expect him to mark or get the ball to ground. His effort in the VFL was classic old style power full forward stuff.
